Question

A tennis ball of mass 58g is thrown 5m into the air before served. Calculate the velocity of the tennis ball just before it is hit with the tennis racket.

Answers

We have to know how high the racket is when it hits the ball.
Maybe 3 meters?
if so the ball falls 2 meters from 5 meters to 3 meters
2 = 4.9 t^2
t = .639 seconds
v = g t = 9.8*.639 = 6.26 m/s
does not matter if on the way up or on the way down, same magnitude due to symmetry
Damon .. Pls view my question.. I need your opinion
V^2 = Vo^2 + 2g*h.
V^2 = 0 + 19.6*5,
V = 9.90 m/s.

Note: It is assumed that the ball was hit at the same ht. it was released.
